COMMERCE CITY, Colorado - The Montreal Impact lost 3-2 (halftime 2-1) against the Colorado Rapids on Saturday, at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, in Colorado, in its last game before a three-week break from regular season action.

Midfielder Patrice Bernier opened the scoring in the 14th minute when he chipped Rapids' keeper Matt Pickens from close range, following a pass by Felipe, who had rolled the ball towards the Canadian midfielder with his back turned to goal. It was Bernier's second goal of the season and Felipe's second assist of the season.

Rapids' midfielder Jeff Larentowicz tied the game in the 18th minute on a penalty, beating Impact keeper Donovan Ricketts to his right. It was the Impact's 5th penalty allowed this season.

Defender Drew Moor then gave the Rapids the lead in the 39th minute. Moor headed the ball in at the far post off of a Martin Rivero 45-meter free-kick, beating Ricketts to his left.

Forward Andrew Wenger, who made his first start of the season in a 4-2-3-1 formation, scored his second of the campaign in the 47th minute. Collen Warner passed it to Bernier who put Wenger through behind the Colorado defence. The 21 year-old rookie beat Pickens with a low right-footed shot.

Midfielder Jaime Castrillon then scored the winning goal for Colorado in the 83rd minute. As the ball twice bounced off of the crossbar, Castrillon got a header while the Impact defenders thought the referee whistled for a corner.
